DUCKS at COLORADO

Faceoff: 6 p.m., Friday, Pepsi Center

TV/Radio: FSW, 830-AM

Update: Andrew Cogliano provided the only highlights for the Ducks during and after their 7-2 loss Wednesday to the Calgary Flames. First, he scored his 20th goal of the season and then he shredded the team for its poor performance against an opponent that’s well out of a playoff position. Cogliano railed profanely on live television, saying, “We played like (expletive). I think every guy in the room should be completely embarrassed with how they played tonight. Every single person. To start a road trip, one of our biggest road trips, and having a division rival (the San Jose Sharks) chasing you down and have a ton on the line, it’s ridiculous how we played tonight.” The Ducks (43-16-7) lost their fourth game in a row and their lead over the Sharks has disappeared; they’re now even atop the Pacific Division. Colorado is 43-18-5, second in the Central Division..
